The World God Only Knows (TWGOK)

I have read TWGOK manga a few days ago and its really.... really.... funny especially on the main characters Keima Katsuragi, a second-year high school student. He is also known on the Internet as "The Capturing God (Otoshi-gami?)" or "The Fallen God"  for his legendary skills to be able to "capture" any 2D girl in games(he really hates all 3D girls, believing them inferior to girls of the game world). However, in his actual school life, Keima is known as otamegane , a derogatory portmanteau of the two words otaku and megane ("glasses") and is considered nothing but a gloomy geek with thick glasses. At the start of the series, Keima receives an e-mail offering him a contract to "capture" girls. When he accepts it, thinking it is an invitation to a game, a demon from Hell named Elsee appears! She asks for his cooperation to help her in catching runaway spirits. These spirits hide themselves inside the hearts of girls', and Elsee suggests that the only method to force the spirits out is by "capturing" the girls hearts—making them fall in love with him and filling up the gaps which the runaway spirits hide in.The interesting part in this manga is the way Keima-kun make these girls fall in love with him.... If they fail, they lose their head... While the series focuses on Keima and Elsee adventures on capturing spirits, the series also makes fun and parodying common and popular cliches about dating sims, anime character stereotypes and pop culture.It has its pretty funny moments and it makes fun of basically everything in terms of social interactions.....
